Bernie started her career as a lawyer but discovered fairly early on that it was not the right path so transitioned into talent resourcing & recruitment, becoming Director of a niche consultancy specialising in recruiting and headhunting for the UK’s top 100 law firms. She gained a postgraduate in Executive Coaching and opened her coaching consultancy coaching lawyers and other professionals navigating change and challenge. Her interests shifted to the education sector, retained by universities to support their law and business students, graduates and postgraduates and was recruited onto the panel of coaches supporting academic and professional staff.

Bernie currently leads the Career & Leadership Development Programme for MBAs at ULMS, supporting an ambitious community of global emerging leaders.  Bernie loves working with clients at all career stages, from recent graduates to professionals exploring career change, promotion or finding purpose in retirement. Bernie has a Law degree from University of Birmingham, is a qualified Solicitor (non-practising), a qualified Coach and is accredited for MBTI and Insights psychometric profiling.

She lives right on the coast so outside of work can be found up a sand dune or in the pinewoods near her home, exploring and supporting her local conservation groups.
